Property number 53, according to the 1852 plan, was located on Arbat. The main house of the small estate, situated along the red line, belonged to the Khitrovo family. It was inhabited by collegiate assessor Nikanor Semyonovich Khitrovo and his son, ensign N. Khitrovo.
In 1874, the property passed to merchant Ilya Vasilyevich Patrikeev, who was the elder of the Chudov Monastery in the Kremlin and had a brother, Pavel Vasilyevich.
In 1878, a new building appeared on the site, likely incorporating an earlier structure. The Patrikeev house was built according to a design by K. Busse and had two floors. It was recently restored, and now we see a small mansion in the neoclassical style. The windows of the second floor are adorned with light stucco garlands of flowers, and above the entrance, the monogram of Ilya Patrikeev with the intertwined letters 'I' and 'P' has been restored.
Under the Patrikeevs, the main house of the estate was rented out. The first floor housed shops, while the second floor contained apartments. In 1897 and 1903, a private women's boarding house and the school of Sofia Karlovna Smirnova were located here.
House 53, building 6, was the residential house of the Patrikeevs. After Ilya Vasilyevich, the property on Arbat passed to his nephews: Sergey, Pavel, and Mikhail Patrikeev. Over the years, either Sergey and Mikhail or Mikhail and Pavel Patrikeev lived here.
The Patrikeev merchant family was well-known and respected in Moscow. P.P. Patrikeev was a hereditary honorary citizen, a member of the Moscow provincial zemstvo assembly, and a trustee of the Alexander-Mariinsky shelter.
S.P. Patrikeev, like his brother, was a political and public figure, a member of the Moscow State Duma, the council of the Petersburg International Bank, and an honorary member of the Moscow Council of Children's Shelters. In 1911, he was granted nobility.
By 1915, the main house no longer belonged to the Patrikeevs, but Mikhail Patrikeev's address remained the same: Arbat, 53, private house.
During the Soviet era, the Patrikeev mansion was divided into communal apartments.
Currently, the building belongs to the Department of Culture of Moscow and is a valuable urban-forming object.
